Chapter 952: There is a successor
Apprentice, do you feel when you stand at the head of the city and the Dharma field is under your feet? ”
Liu Zhao's face was pale, his head was lowered, he couldn't see outside the city at all, and his eyes stayed between a foot under his feet. He was terrified now, and he had to try to keep his mouth shut in order to keep his heart in his chest.
Zhu Di looked at Liu Zhao's appearance and couldn't help but sigh slightly......
Tiger father dog son is really not a derogatory term.
If things come too easily, they often don't know how to cherish them.
If he hadn't been assigned to Beiping and hadn't let him lead the troops against the Tartars, perhaps there would not be today's Yongle Emperor. This is also true for Yoo Chun.
If it weren't for the abolition of Jinyiwei back then, he was helpless and could only give it a go, and there would be no Shang King today.
At that time, Liu Chun was only a teenager, and he was circling among a group of big people, relying on his own ability, he survived the dangerous Hongwu Dynasty, and survived the battle of Jingjing, worshipping each other and assisting the government, until he resigned and became a vassal...... It's like a dream to think about.
Be under pressure, be careful with guns and arrows, and keep one eye open even when you sleep.
After decades, it's not easy!
Looking at Liu Zhao, Zhu Di did not dislike it at all, on the contrary, he thought of another possibility.
What would have happened if he hadn't entrusted his son to Liu Chun at the beginning, but had raised him in the palace?
Is there still what it looks like today?
Zhu Di is really not sure.
After all, there have been too many counter-examples throughout the ages.
The father is the hero, but the son is a waste...... Thinking about it this way, Liu Chun is kind to the Ming Dynasty and to Zhu Di!
Zhu Di gritted his teeth secretly, I am not an ungrateful person, this kid of the Liu family, I taught it!
Zhu Di stretched out his hand, grabbed Liu Zhao's shoulder, and pulled it up hard, making the little guy look up and look outside.
"Show me!"
Liu Zhao was shaken, but he had to look outside.
Less than ten zhang outside the city, there is a wooden platform, and below the high platform is the waves of the sea.
At this moment, too many people have gathered inside and outside the city, and they are looking forward to it, their eyes widening, to see this great excitement.
"Liu Zhao, do you know why they are so happy?"
The little guy was already pale and trembling.
Although he often heard people mention the excitement of beheading, he never really saw it.
He didn't think it was a good thing to kill a big living person...... After all, God has the virtue of a good life, and killing people is a very undesirable thing.
Zhu Di looked at the little guy, the protection is so good!
"Good boy, let Master tell you that they are waiting to drink the blood of these people!"
Liu Zhao's face turned pale in an instant, and he felt a strong nausea, and only by trying to suppress it would he not vomit out.
Zhu Di continued to take care of himself: "Apprentice, do you know why the master doesn't care about the truth or falsehood of the case? I don't care how many people are killed? Because none of this is important, the important thing is that Master wants to control Nanyang, the question is how to control it? Reason with them? Nope! Even if I spit lotus flowers, they will not obediently listen to me. Don't say I can't, even your father doesn't have such a big ability. ”
"So what the hell is to be done? It's not complicated to say, it's even very simple, it's to reshuffle the cards and distribute the benefits again! ”
"Your father promised those Han people in Nanyang that he would give them a higher status and give them benefits. This benefit doesn't come out of nowhere. There is no way but to eradicate the local family in Nanyang. Eradicate these land snakes. ”
"Chop off their heads and vent the anger of the Nanyang Han people. Take the land from them, so that the Nanyang Han people can get tangible benefits, reshuffle the cards, and transfer power to the Nanyang Han people! ”
Zhu Di's eyes were blazing and full of spirit.
He chuckled and said, "Apprentice, as the Son of Heaven, can be confused in everything, but you can't make mistakes in one of the most basic things. That's where your power comes from? ”
Liu Zhao's heart was pounding, the law field outside had been arranged, and hundreds of people were tied up like zongzi and pushed under the high platform, waiting for the knife to be opened.
Screams, cries, curses, begs for mercy...... It's heartbreaking.
In this case, Liu Zhao could only try to stay calm and think about Zhu Di's words.
"Emperor Taishang, there is a saying, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, my Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty started from the end of Wei, and finally swept away the Great Yuan and played the Ming Dynasty to unify the country!"
Zhu Di smiled and said: "That's right, do you think that I should also win the hearts of the people in Nanyang?" ”
Liu Zhao didn't speak, but nodded slightly.
Zhu Di smiled: "Silly boy, you are stupid to read." No matter what we do, in the eyes of the natives of Nanyang, we are all outsiders. Winning people's hearts and minds is wishful thinking! ”
"What we can rely on now is only a small number of Nanyang Han people, or some local upper-class people. As for the people's hearts, that's for the future. ”
"Your father has already promoted education in Nanyang, hoping to bring more natives over...... There is a more direct way, and that is to encourage immigration...... Of course, if you are ruthless enough, you can also slaughter the entire South Seas! ”
The more Zhu Di said, the whiter Liu Zhao's little face became, and his eyes were full of panic, shaking his head desperately.
Zhu Di pressed his big hand on his shoulder and said with a smile: "Master is telling you about the most extreme situation, so it is risky to do it, and neither Master nor your father will be stupid." ”
"But cleaning up the upper echelons of the natives and giving opportunities and resources to the Nanyang Han people is the first step that must be done!"
Zhu Di paused, "Apprentice, have you thought clearly?" Did Master teach you something? ”
Liu Zhao's face was pale, his lips trembled, and after a long time, he said in a low voice: "The Emperor is letting me know who I want to rely on and who I want to fight for?" ”
Zhu Di bowed his head, "The understanding is very good!" The children can be taught! My good apprentice, Master knows that it is very difficult to make decisions and take other people's lives, and only when it is difficult will it be pushed up layer by layer and into my hands. I may not be able to do it in many ways, but I know this very well, and because of this, I can sit firmly in the dragon chair. You are the eldest son of the king of Shang, sooner or later, you will inherit your father's family business, you don't want to disappoint him, right? ”
Liu Zhao trembled all over, his lips were tightly closed, the green tendons on his temples were tensed, and his whole body was full of pain and struggle.
Zhu Di felt that his words were a little heavy, and couldn't help but sigh: "Maybe it's still too cruel for you...... Wait for next time! ”
Zhu Di turned around to pull Liu Zhao down, but unexpectedly, the little guy's legs seemed to be stuck to the ground, motionless. Zhu Di hesitated slightly, after all, his heart was Liu Chun's cub, and the little thing was still a little bloody!
But just when he was happy, Liu Zhao's footsteps moved, and even very fast, not lingering at all...... Zhu Laosi almost laughed angrily...... It's still a little hot, you have to take your time!
Zhu Di had to follow Liu Zhao down the city wall, but when he arrived at the city gate, the little guy actually stopped.
"Too, too emperor......" the little guy didn't raise his voice and pointed outside, "I want to go out!" ”
Zhu Di was suddenly overjoyed and said in surprise: "Do you think you can't see clearly in the city?" ”
The little one was still afraid, but nodded anyway.
Zhu Di smiled and said, "Good apprentice, that's right!" How about Master give you another chance? How about letting you be an executioner and kill people yourself? ”
As soon as these words came out, Liu Zhao's face turned from white to green, he was silent for a long time, gritted his back molars and said, "Next, next time, it will be!" ”
Zhu Di couldn't help but reach out and pinch his apprentice's face.
"Master, don't be embarrassed, you didn't do the executioner. Let's go and be a prisoner! Personally order, click these people, even if you pass the first lesson, go back to the master to teach you something else! ”
……
"What a sin!"
Xu Miaojin's face turned pale with anger, and he gritted his teeth. The child vomited for half an hour, didn't eat dinner, didn't answer, and lost his soul, as if he had changed a person.
"Master, do you say that our son will be frightened?"
Liu Chun took a deep breath, "Don't worry about it, our generation, including our children and grandchildren, is far from the time when we can enjoy happiness, we still have to forge ahead and build a great foundation." There will be a lot of messy things in the future! If he can't even hold up this little scene, it won't be enough to inherit the family business. ”
Speaking of this, Xu Miaojin's face also froze.
"Alas...... Master, everyone understands this truth, but when it comes to children, my heart can't help but hurt......"
Liu Chun smiled bitterly, if he didn't have to do it, why would it be Zhu Di's turn to help!
"Don't dwell on it, let's see, if he doesn't make ......"
Before Liu Chun's words fell, his son Liu Zhao walked in with a step.
He held his head high, trying to keep his tone normal.
"Dad, mother, today the children were beheaded and killed ninety-seven! Then the child told those people, "Heaven will spare one, earth will spare one, and I will spare another!" So three prisoners escaped! ”
Liu Zhao suddenly laughed, "They also knelt down and kowtowed to me, thanking me for my kindness!" ”
When the little guy said this, he scratched his head, "Dad, mother, it doesn't seem to be difficult!" ”
Liu Chun and Xu Miaojin showed surprised expressions, their son is growing up very fast!
At this time, Zhu Di's laughter came again.
"Apprentice, you did a great job! Beyond Master's expectations, look, what did Master send you? ”
I saw Zhu Di holding a huge plate, in which was a piece of fresh salmon tender, with an attractive color, which fully represented his care for his apprentices!
